Capital One is temporarily expanding redemption options for Venture and Spark Miles cardholders to include food delivery, takeout, streaming services and phone services.

If you have a Capital One travel credit card and are trying to decide how to use your miles amid the coronavirus, there's some good news. Capital One is temporarily expanding redemption options for Venture and Spark Miles cardholders now through September 30, 2020 to include alternative statement credit options, such as food delivery and takeout.

"Capital One remains committed to offering our customers a variety of options for redeeming their rewards. We understand that our customers' day-to-day lives have changed, so we're continually looking at providing value in new and different ways," a Capital One spokesperson says.

Previously, the only statement credit redemption options were for travel purchases, but with new coronavirus-related travel restrictions and fewer travelers in general, Capital One has temporarily expanded the redemption options.

Here's the breakdown of new Capital One miles redemption options, which depend on the card you have:

Eligible food delivery and takeout categories include purchases made from delivery services, such as DoorDash, UberEats and Postmates, or purchases made directly with restaurants, cafes or fast-food chains. Meanwhile, Venture cardholders can redeem miles for a variety of popular music and video streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Disney+ and Kindle Unlimited.

If you have one of the Spark Miles for Business cards, you have the option to redeem miles for mobile phone bills, payments and purchases from eligible wireless phone service providers, such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and select others. Internet, WiFi, and landline services are not eligible. This category is in lieu of streaming service redemptions.

How to redeem Capital One miles for food delivery, takeout, streaming services and phone services

Miles can be redeemed for eligible food delivery, takeout, streaming services and phone services in the same way you redeem miles for travel purchases with Purchase Eraser. Simply follow the steps below:

Use your card to make an eligible purchase in one of these new categories.

After the transaction posts to your account (typically within a few days), sign in and select "Cover Your Purchases."

Redeem your miles on a list of eligible purchases from the past 90 days.

You have the option to redeem miles for part or all of an eligible purchase. After redemption, expect to receive a statement credit on your account within two to three business days.

A Capital One spokesperson confirmed that both statement credit and new travel booking redemptions have a standard value, with one point worth a penny. However, when you redeem rewards on Amazon, one mile is worth $0.008, whereas transferring miles to participating loyalty programs can yield a value greater or less than a penny.
